Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to press a switch on a switch box and view a lighting power LED and a blinking hard disk LED to provide the same conventional use of a personal computer, as a personal computer body is placed under a desk, and a monitor, a keyboard, an external DVD drive and the switch box are placed on the desk. <P>SOLUTION: An extension switch for a desktop personal computer is so constructed that an intermediate connector (2) is set on a personal computer case (1) and connected to a power switch terminal, a power LED terminal and a hard disk LED terminal on a motherboard in the personal computer case (1), and that the intermediate connector (2) and the switch box (3) (or a peripheral device on a desk, such as a monitor, an external hard disk, an external DVD drive or a keyboard, alternatively integrated with a power switch, a power LED and a hard disk LED) are connected with an extension cord (4). The switch box (3) has the power switch (8), the power LED (5) and the hard disk LED (6). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

【０００１】
【産業上の利用分野】
この発明を利用したパソコンは、パソコン本体をデスク上に置かずにデスクの下又は、離れた場所に置く事ができる。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来のパソコンは、パソコン本体に電源スイッチ類が付いていたため、デスク上にモニターと並べてパソコン本体を置いた。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しょうとする課題】
従来のパソコンは、パソコン本体をデスク上に置いていた為スペースをとり、圧迫感があり、邪魔である。
【０００４】
【問題を解決するための手段】
パソコンケースに中間コネクタを設け、パソコンケース内部のマザーボードの電源スイッチ端子、電源ＬＥＤ端子、ハードディスクＬＥＤ端子と繋ぐ、中間コネクタとスイッチボックス（又は、モニター、外付けハードディスク、外付けＤＶＤドライブ、キーボード等、デスク上にある周辺機器に電源スイッチ、電源ＬＥＤ、ハードディスクＬＥＤを一体化してもよい）を延長コードで繋ぐ。スイッチボックスには電源スイッチと、電源ＬＥＤと、ハードディスクＬＥＤを設ける。
【０００５】
【作用】
デスクの下にパソコン本体を置き、デスク上にモニター、キーボード、外付けＤＶＤドライブ、スイッチボックスを配置する。スイッチボックスのスイッチを押し、電源ＬＥＤの点灯、ハードディスクＬＥＤの点滅を見ながら、従来のパソコンと同様に使う事が出来る。
【０００６】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の実施例について説明する。
パソコンケースに中間コネクタを設け、パソコンケース内部のマザーボードの電源スイッチ端子、電源ＬＥＤ端子、ハードディスクＬＥＤ端子と繋ぐ、中間コネクタとスイッチボックスを延長コードで繋ぐ。スイッチボックスには電源スイッチと、電源ＬＥＤと、ハードディスクＬＥＤを設ける。
モニター、外付けハードディスク、外付けＤＶＤドライブ、キーボード等、デスク上にある周辺機器のいずれかに電源スイッチ、電源ＬＥＤ、ハードディスクＬＥＤ等を一体化してもよい。
拡張スロット用ブラケット（７）に、中間コネクタ（２）を設けてもよい。
マザーボードに直接、中間コネクタ（２）を設けてもよい。
【０００７】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、以上のような構成でこれを利用したディスクトップパソコン用延長スイッチは、デスクの下にパソコン本体を置き、デスク上にモニター、キーボード、外付けＤＶＤドライブ、スイッチボックスを配置する。スイッチボックスのスイッチを押し、電源ＬＥＤの点灯、ハードディスクＬＥＤの点滅を見ながら、従来のパソコンと同様に使う事が出来る。

[Industrial applications]
The personal computer using the present invention can be placed under the desk or at a remote place without placing the personal computer on the desk.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the case of a conventional personal computer, the computer itself had a power switch, so the computer was placed on the desk alongside the monitor.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The conventional personal computer takes up space because the main body of the personal computer is placed on the desk, has a feeling of oppression, and is obstructive.
[0004]
[Means to solve the problem]
Provide an intermediate connector in the PC case, connect it to the power switch terminal, power LED terminal, hard disk LED terminal of the motherboard inside the PC case, intermediate connector and switch box (or monitor, external hard disk, external DVD drive, keyboard, etc. A power switch, a power LED, and a hard disk LED may be integrated with peripheral devices on the desk) with an extension cord. The switch box is provided with a power switch, a power LED, and a hard disk LED.
[0005]
[Action]
Place the PC under the desk and place the monitor, keyboard, external DVD drive and switch box on the desk. By pressing the switch of the switch box and watching the power LED and the hard disk LED blink, you can use it in the same way as a conventional personal computer.
[0006]
【Example】
Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described.
An intermediate connector is provided on the PC case, which is connected to the power switch terminal, power LED terminal, and hard disk LED terminal of the motherboard inside the PC case. The intermediate connector and the switch box are connected with an extension cord. The switch box is provided with a power switch, a power LED, and a hard disk LED.
A power switch, a power LED, a hard disk LED, or the like may be integrated with any of the peripheral devices on the desk, such as a monitor, an external hard disk, an external DVD drive, and a keyboard.
The expansion slot bracket (7) may be provided with an intermediate connector (2).
The intermediate connector (2) may be provided directly on the motherboard.
[0007]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the extension switch for a desktop personal computer using the above-described configuration has a personal computer body placed under a desk, and a monitor, a keyboard, an external DVD drive, and a switch box arranged on the desk. By pressing the switch of the switch box and watching the power LED and the hard disk LED blink, you can use it in the same way as a conventional personal computer.
